Hope,
I am enjoying your blogs, I look forward to opening my email in the mornings to see if you have posted something new!
How brave of you to share your thoughts with all of us. Although I have known and loved you for years, I not sure I really understood all of your daily challenges. Thank you for opening my eyes, I wish it was in my power to take just one of your 25 items off your list. Pam
Believe it or not, number 16 actually exists! It was invented by a guy with a spinal cord injury, I think he was/ is an engineer.
Several eye-gaze technology solutions do exist... but they tend to be very costly. One of the really exciting prospects of the Change My World in One Minute (read more at http://www.worldcpday.org/) is the possibility of developing more accessible--not just available, but affordable--solutions.
